Our Holiday Crystal Stemware Promotion Runs Through December 31st

Earn your choice of exquisite Bottega del Vino Italian crystal stemware with every purchase in November and December 2017. Full details here.

With the purchase of 6 bottles of Italics 2013 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon, the winery will extended a complimentary cave tasting for 2 guests during your next visit to wine country! A retail value of $50.

Tasting Notes:

Three clones of Cabernet are planted on our estate and this wine clearly delineates all three. Blackberry notes from Clone 15. Floral notes from Clone 337. And from Clone 7, structure and backbone. Overall, the wine is very dense, with concentrated spice, fruit and earth. The oak is perfectly integrated, drawing out the wine's blackberry compote and dark chocolate truffle flavors. While it drinks well now the wine will evolve over time to reveal sweet earth and cognac flavors.
